My future job

When I was younger and I was at university, I used to think that I didn’t want a nine-to-five job, and even now I think that working 45 hours a week is a nightmare which doesn’t allow you to be with your family or friends. I used to think that I wanted to be my own boss, so I could manage my time and maybe work from home. Probably, that was a reason I studied translation first, because that profession allows you to work from home; but then I realized that if I was going to work as a translator I would be within 4 walls, stuck in an office and, in front of a desk every day and I would have no contact with other people. So, I decided to study pedagogy, that way I would work from Monday to Friday and I could meet different people.
If I had to imagine a job that I would like to have now, I’m sure I wouldn’t choose a different one because teaching to adults allows me to have more time for me and my family than working in an office from 9 to 6, and it´s fun to talk and help young people to learn English. I really have fun when I'm in the classroom.

Favorite Chilean TV Personality

hi all!

what a difficult topic is this one! Right now, I'm trying to think of a person from the TV to choose, but I have a problem: I don't watch TV very often, I'm no longer interested in consuming those awful programs.
When I was a teenager I liked those journalists from "Informe Especial", but now that program lost its quality and tends to inform about the same things over and over again. The same thing happened with some of the journalists who I admired when they worked at Canal 2 rock and pop (which stopped broadcasting in 1999) because when they started working for the big channels they sold their souls.
So, it's almost impossible for me to choose one that I like because I don't...maybe I could mention Tonka Tomicic and her ability to look beautiful, young and happy all the time, or Patricia Maldonado´s ability to be aired, even though most people know about her past and beliefs.
Well, what about you? any favorite personality from our TV jungle?

Winter or summer?

Hi, everyone!

today you're going to write about a topic you chose last Monday.
WhenI started to think about seasons, I realized I miss those "bridge" seasons like autumn or spring because now we just have summer or winter. If I had to choose one, I'd definitely choose winter, mainly for practical reasons: you can avoid cold weather by wearing the appropriate clothes, but the summer heat is unmanageable it's against the laws to go around naked.
one of the things I like about winter is drinking hot chocolate, eating sopaipillas pasadas and as we're
forced to be indoors you spend more time with your loved ones. In Santiago summer, even though you usually have more free time, it's almost a torture to go out or spend time with friends or family, as the temperature makes you feel bad; and in my case, I usually get headaches because of the heat.
Anyway, I enjoy winter but sincerely I enjoyed it way more when I was a child because it used to rain a lot, and there's nothing better to stay in bed as you hear the rain pouring down.
